MACHINE FOR USE IN THE MAN UFACTURE 0F BUOTS AND SHOES.

Application filed August 7, 1911.

T '0 all whom it may concern Be it known that 1, FREDERICK M. FUR- nnn, a citizen of the United States, residing j at Revere, in the county of Suffolk and State of Massachusetts, have invented. certain Improvements in Machines for Use in the Manufacture of Boots and Shoes, of which the following description, in connection with the accompanying drawings, is a specification, like reference characters on the drawings indicating like parts in the several figures.

The heels of shoes are ordinarily attached by nails which are driven from the outside and clenched in the interior of the shoe. There is thus formed in the interior of the shoe in that portion which suppocts the heel of the wearer,-said portion being hereinafter referred to as the heel-seat of the shoe, an uneven surface caused by the clenched nds of the attaching nails. In order to cover the ends of these nails it is customary to apply to the heel-seat a piece of material of suitable shape coated on the under side with cement, said piece being hereinafter referred to as the lining-piece or heel-seat lining. Hitherto this work has been performed manually, and the general object of the present invention is to provide a machine for accomplishing it in whole or in art.

Accordingly one feature of the invention comprises in a machine of the class described a support over the end of which a shoe may be positioned to receive lining material, means for feeding said material relatively to said support into position to contact with the inside of'the bottom of a shoe placed upon said support, and means for coating said material with an adhesive sub-- stance prior to its application to the inside of said shoe.

Another feature of the present invention consists in the provision of mechanism for applying a lining-piece to a shoe, and means for actuating said applying mechanism; and in the machine herein illustrated and described this means is automatic and becomes operative upon presentation of a shoe. This lining-piece, as has been stated, is usually fastened to the heel-seat by means of cement; and another feature of the invention consists in the provision in a machine for ap- Specification of Letters Patent.

plying such a lining-piece to a shoe of mechanism for applying cement to the liningpicce and means for actuating said mechillllsnl- Anoth r feature of the invention consists in the provision in a machine of the class described of mechanism for cutting from suitable material a lining-piece for a shoe and means for actuating said cutting mechanism; and in the illustrative machine the material is supplied to the machine in the form of a strip which is intermittently fed forward by auton'iatic feeding mechanism.

In the illustrative embodiment of the invention therens shown a machine havin mechanism for feeding forward a strip 0 fabric or other material, mechanism for applying cement to said strip, mechanism for cutting a lining-piece from said strip, and mechanism for applying said lining-piece to the hecl-seat of a shoe. Inasmuch, however, as these operations have hitherto been carried out separately and by hand it will be understood not only that these mechanisms might be employed singly to advantage but that certain combinations of them may be used without using them all.

Accordingly, other features of the invention consist in such combinations of these mechanisms and constructional details of be described in connection with the illustrative machine and pointed out in the appended claims.

Referring to the accompanying drawings:

Figure 1 is a. side elevation of the machine in which the present invention is embodied, the lower portion of the machine being shown in section on line 1-1 of Fig. 2; Fig. 2 is a rear elevation of the machine with certain parts shown in section; and Fig. 3

is a rear elevation on a larger scale of cer portion l? and with the position of the upper one shown in Fig. l, are adapted to cooperate with a hollow cutting block 13 to cut the lining-piece from a strip 15 of suitable material. The stem 2 o the .Jilfi'ill, is provided with a reduccd portion 1?. and the hearing which sustains it is conntcrlmred to provide a proper seat for a spring 19 which bears with one endhe shoulder formed by the reduced the other against the bottom of the couuterbore so that the turret is minimally held outwardly as shown in Fig. I. this outward movcn'icnt. due to the spring, being limited by a washer 28 and a nut 20 which latter is threaded on the extreme end of the stem Rotatably mounted upon a Stu 121 are three levers, a. clutch-actuating lever 23, a feed-actuating lever 25, which serves also to actuate the applying mechanism, and a die-:mtuating lever 27. The clutch-actuat ing lever 23 engages with its upper end the end of the stem 2 and with its lower end the pawl. :26 which controls the clutch by which the continuously rotating driving pulley 29 caused to engage the driving shaft 31. The clutch made use of is similar to that shown in the patent to James Horton, No. 260.394, and will not be described in detail since any suitable one-revolution clutch may be made use of, if desired. This driving shatt is rovided with a double crank 37; and the s ceve 115, which is fast to the shaft, provided with a cam 41. The crank 37 against it h through the link 39 operates the lever 25,

and the cam 41 operates the lever 27, the upper end of which contacts with the washer which is held on the stem 2 by means of the not 26.

With the construction thus far described, it will be apparent that when the turret and with it the stem 2 is moved to the right as shown in Fig. 1. the lever 23 will throw in the clutch and thereafter the levers and 27 will be actuated. The operation of the lever 27 pulls the turret to the right against the force of the spring 19 and causes the die 11 which is uppermost to come into contact with the cutting block 13 and thereby cut a lining-piece from the strip 15. The lever during; the first portion of its movement actuatcs the cementing mechanism and the striofeeding mechanism. and duringthe second portion of its movement actuatcs the mechanism which carries the cut-out liningpiece through the receiver 9 to the heel-seat of the shoe. as will presently he described.

Turning now to the mechanism for feeding the strip of fabric and for pasting the cut-ont lining piece into the shoe, the lever isormed with a. lug 43 and with a. sag meniil slot 45. in the link 47, said link being pivoted to one member $9 of a. clutch between which and the other toothed member 51 are arranged This lug engages a noicll spring-pressed rollers which compel the member 51 to rotate with the member 49 when the latter member is rotated in a cloclc wise direction, but permit independent movement of the member 45) in the opposite direction. Integral with the member 4.) is a plate .33 provided with a camway which is eccentric to the pin 55 upon which the menu ber 49 and the plate 53 are rotatably mounted; and, arranged to travel in the camway, is a roller 57 which is carried at the lower end of a rod 59. A bent lever 31, fulcrumed to the frame of the machine at 63.

pivoted at one end to the rod 59 and at the other to a. wide plunger which nor mally occupies the position shown in Fig. 1. This plunger is located, as shown, in the elongated outlet of the receptacle (3'? and serves, when depressed. to force a certain quantity of cement out through a plurality of small openings, one of which is shown at 68. The cement used is viscous and, on ac count of this quality and the small size of the openings 68, will not escape from the receptacle until the plunger is depressed. Cooperating with the toothed member or ring 51 which encircles the member 49 is a small pinion 69 which, together with a feed roll 71, is fast to a shaft 72, said shaft being mounted in suitable bearings in the frame of the machine. A second roll similarly mounted and arranged parallel to the roll 71 carries a pinion 73 which meshes with the pinion 79; and, gripped between these feed rolls. is the end of the strip 15 which is wound around a shaft 75, the ends of which are supported by yokes 77. In order to guide the strip as it is being fed forward by the feed rolls referred to above, there is provided an idle roll 7 9.

With the construction described above, it will be apparent that as the lever 25 is moved in a counterclockwise direction and the link 47 thereby moved to the left as viewed in Fig. 1, the effect of this movement will be to move the member 49 and t e plate 53 in a clockwise direction thereb raising the rod 59 and depressing the plunger 65 so that a certain amount 0% cement is forced out .upon the strip. At he same time the members 49 and 51 will be cllutched together with the result that the pinions 69 and 73 together with their feed rolls will be rotated to pull the end of the strip a cer tain distance downward.

In order to determine the extentof motion transmitted to the lunger 65 as well as to the strip 15, there is provided a regu lator 81 in the form of a bell crank lever which is pivoted to the frame at 83. The upright arm of this lever has fast thereto a horizontal s indle upon which is mounted a roll 85, an this roll cix'iperatcs with an inclined cam face 87 on the under side of the link :7 to raise the end of the link and thereby disconnect it from the in r The horizontal arm of the bell cranc lever 81 is provided near its outer extremity with a bore to receive a locking pin 89, which is ada ted to fit into any one of a plurality of lioles formed in a segmental plate 91 which is fast to the frame of the machine. The point at which the link 47 andthe lever 25 are disconnected can thus be varied in order to vary the extent of movement of the strip 15 as well as the amount of cement delivered to said strip.

Turnin now to the mechanism for laying the paste and died-out liningpicce in the heel'seat of the shoe, the hollow cutting block 13 has slidably mounted therein a hollow carrier or casing 93 )rovided with a rack 95 with which mesh time teeth on segment gear 97 pivoted to the frame at 98, said gear being provided with a pin 99 which extends into the segmental slot 45. Slidably mounted in the hollow carrier 93 is a hollow holder 101 which carries at its outer end a smoothing or laying member, herein shown as an annular brush 103. Extendin through said hollow holder is a guide rod 105 having at its left hand end as shown in Fig. 1 a presenter and spreader 107 which acts to increase the diameter of the annularbrush when said brush is moved with respect to said guide and spreader in a manner which will presently be described. Fast to the right hand endof the brush holder, as shown in. Fig. 1, is a pulley 109 which is Continuously rotated during the rotation of the drivin shaft 31 by means of a belt 111 and a pul ev 113 carried by the sleeve 115, an idler pulley 117 at the end of a pivoted arm 119 serving to maintain the belt tight during the bodily movement of the small pulley 109.

Located below the arms of a U-shapcd rod 121., the ends of which are held in the frame of tlfe machine by set screws one of which is shown at 123 in Fig. 2, is a bracket 125 which is clamped to the carrier 93 by means of a screw bolt 127. This bracket is rovided at its outer end with a socket and a were leading therefrom, and the guide rod 105 is of reduceddi'atneter at its outer-end whereby there is formed a shoulder which fits against the bottom of the socket, the

portion of reduced diameter being threaded as at 129 to receive a holding nut 131. A spring 133 normally under tension and tending to move the pulley 109 and with it the brush to the left is held between :he (1111 of the brush carrier 101 and the bottom of the socket in the bracket 125. maintained under tension by a latch 135 which is pivoted to the bracket 125, the upper end being engaged by a trigger 137 which is pivoted at 13.) to an car 141 on the bracket 125. This tri ger has a depending forward portion w ieh is arranged,

This spring is,

when the bracket together with the carrier 93 has been moved to the left by the segment gear 97, to be engaged by a stop 141, as shown in dotted lines in Fig. 1, such movement of the trigger permitting the spring 133 to become operative so that when the carrier 93 has been moved to the left to usb the lining-piece into the shoe the end of the brush will be forced past the s reader 107 as shown in dotted lines in The mechanism just described has for convenience been termed the mechanism for laying the pasted lining-piece in the heel seat of a shoe. It is evident, however, that this mechanism is capable of other uses and is a plicable in any case in which it is desira le to keep the brush or similar member inclosed in a casing while it is being advanced into a shoe and then to expose said brush when it reaches its operative position. It should be noted, too, that with a construc tion such as that described it is possible to apply to the heel-seat of a shoe a sticky object or substance without danger of smearing the lining proper of the shoe.

he operation of the machine it as fol lows: The spring-pin 5 is withdrawn from its socket and the turret rotated to bring the desired shoe receiver into operative position.

The regulator 81 is moved to a position to cause the proper amount of material to be fed as well as the proper amount of cement to be expelled from the reservoir. A shoe is then placed upon the uppermost shoe receiver and subjected to a slight pressure. This moves the turret and with it the stem 2 a short distance to the right as shown in Fig. 1 thereby rocking the lever 23 about the stud 21 and throwing in the one revolution clutch. The effect of the first part of the rotation of the shaft 31 and sleeve 115 is to rock the lever 25 about the pivot 21 there by moving the link 47 to the left. This causes a certain amount of cement to bedelivered upon the strip 15 and at the same time pulls the strip down for a given dis tance and brings the cemented ortion -between the die 11 and the cutting block '13.

The cam 41 onthe sleeve next comes into ,5

operative position and causes the lever 27 to pull the turret sharply to the right and thereby cut out a lining-piece from the strip 15. Just previously to t is the inclined face 87 of the link 47 has ridden up on the roll .85

and disconnected the link from the lever 25.

As now the lever 25 continues its movement toward the left, the right-hand Wall of the segmental slot 45 contacts with the pin 99 and moves the carrier 93 together with its iza associated parts toward the left. The cutout lining-piece is thus caught on the end of the resenter 107 and carried to the heel seat of t 'e shoe. As it reaches this position the trigger 137 contacts with the stop 141 thereby releasing the spring 133 which forces the brush out over the presenter, as shown in dotted lines, so that the lining-piece is smoothed down and properly laid in place. 5 During the remaining portion of the revolution of the shaft 31, the parts are carried. back into the position shown in Fig. 1. The latch 135 contacts with the base of the U- shaped rod 121 and thereby engages the trigger 137. ll'ith regard to the lug 43, it should be understood that the right-hand end wall of the notch in the lever 47 extends downwardly a suilicient distance so that the lug -13 engages this wall on its return move- 15 meut.

For convenience the invention has been shown and described in connection with a machine for lining the heel seat only, but it should be understood that the particular sort of sole lining handle is immaterial.

Although the invention has been set forth in connection with a particular machine it should be understood that the invention is not limited in the scope of its ap lication to the particular machine shown ant described.
